Custom Days List

Enter all days that disrupt the regular weekly schedule in this list. Empty lines or lines beginning with a # character will be regarded as comment lines and are thus ignored.

The input format follows ISO 8601. Create a new line for every new day you would like to add. The following entries are recognized:

YYYY-MM-DD for single days.

YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD for a range of days.

Note:

Click on the Set button to add the new custom days list to the selection boxes of the individual lines of a time table. The custom days lists are listed at the end of the list boxes and are marked by pointed brackets.

Example: <NewYearHoliday>

Time Tables

You may define multiple profiles, each storing one time table. Always enter a unique name for a time table. Valid characters are letters, digits, dot, comma and underscore.

Click on Add new time table at the bottom of the dialog to add a new time table with one example time period (one line) to the bottom of the list.

The individual time periods within a time table are setting the times in which certain camera functions are switched on or off. In a store, for example, two time tables with several time periods each may be used to arm the camera depending on the opening and closing times (cf. predefined time tables Opening_Times and Closing_Times).

The number of time periods within a time table is limited to twelve time periods, independent of the camera model.

If no time period has been entered, the profile is regarded as being activated.

On: switches the camera function within the start and end times to On.

Off: switches the camera function within the start and end times to Off.
